Subject: Geneva OASIS/ITU Conference Summary and Findings
Dear TC Members, As we discussed on our call 10/31, a very successful "Workshop and Demonstration of Advances in ICT Standards for Public Warning" was held October 19-20, 2006 in Geneva at the headquarters of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). It was jointly sponsored by the ITU and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). The participant list as well as the findings are attached. The findings can also be found at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/ictspw/ ). Eliot provides the following summary: - A wide range of technical solutions for public warning based on the OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) are already on the market and serving the growing movement toward standards-based, all-media, all-hazards public warning in societies worldwide. - Any official source of public warnings can now take advantage of the announced no-charge offer to mount copies of authoritative, authenticated, public alerts in CAP format. The offer was announced in the workshop by Neopolitan Networks, the provider of the Google Earth / Neopolitan CAP Alert infrastructure. - OASIS and ITU-T will complete the actions necessary to publish the CAP standard also as an ITU-T Recommendation. All of the presentations from this ITU Workshop are online at http://www.oasis-open.org/events/ITU-T-OASISWorkshop2006/proceedings.php Regards, Elysa Jones, Chair OASIS EM-TC Engineering Program Manager Warning Systems, Inc.
